Business Case
A business case is a document which is used to help in starting a task or a project. It can be in any format of text, presentation or a discussion. A basic justification to implement the given task can also be called as a Business Case. Typically, a Business Case would be documented for future reference or sometimes stated orally for better understanding. It usually depends on the business ideology and its practical implementation(TechTarget, n.d.). Before thinking of building a business case, an individual should understand thoroughly the core of the project. It may take huge efforts in achieving this goal but a rough estimate of the same would be beneficiary(TechTarget, n.d.).
Example: If the manager of a sunglasses store notices that the business is very slow in the winter, he can tell the owner by preparing a business case for store renovation in winter with winter stuff along with the sunglasses. It might create some good business(TechTarget, n.d.).
Method in developing business case: * Complete Overview and Thorough Analysis: While submitting a business case, the analysis done should be covered all around in order to achieve a better result of the Project and a feasible Solution to overcome the same(TechTarget, n.d.). * Validating if the business case built is actually stating the exact problem and thereby resolving it(TechTarget, n.d.). * Complete documentation of how good the idea is in resolving the issue(TechTarget, n.d.). * Looking for the financial advantages to the organization.
Business case has to answer many questions like 1) Is it done in proper way? 2) Is done in a correct format? 3) Is the result good? 4) Benefits of it?
Such questions help in finding so many answers…...

Case 1.6 NextCard Inc.
When consumers and companies decide to invest in a company they are putting all of our trust in the companies that they are buying the stock from and the audit firms that audit those companies. When the consumers lose that trust then it is hard to trust other companies. In this case we will learn what went wrong and what steps can be made to prevent this from happening again.
Should auditors evaluate the soundness of a client's business model? Defend your answer.
I do not think that auditors should evaluate the soundness of a client’s business model. There are no laws or regulations stating that a business has to evaluate the soundness of a client’s business model. There are regulations and standards in the AU Section 311 that the audit firm has to gain knowledge and understanding of the client’s business operations (pcaobus, 2012). With this being a new business this step was very important. When you have a new business environment entering the business industry it is good to have knowledge and understanding of the client’s business. With knowledge and understanding of the client’s business an audit firm can successfully audit a new industry.

Statement of Work
The retail banking division of United Banks has requested IT to build an application where branch staff can service customers whilst they are standing in branch queues. A wireless network is a key requirement for the application developed by the business to enable better customer service within branches.
This document will detail the business case for the implementation of a wireless network in each one of United Bank’s 500 branches in order to meet the business requirement above
Background
United Bank has a footprint of 500 branches spread across all provinces in South Africa. The branches are connected via a MPLS network to a central head office data center in Johannesburg which hosts the banks core banking applications. The banking applications are used by branch personnel to perform various banking service to clients. Clients have to queue at tellers in order to be services and queues are often lengthy resulting in unhappy clients and poor service response times. In order to alleviate this problem and provide an improved customer service the bank has developed an application call......

...Business CASE
Another suggestion is that case study should be defined as a research strategy, an empirical inquiry that investigates a phenomenon within its real-life context. Case study research means single and multiple case studies, can include quantitative evidence, relies on multiple sources of evidence and benefits from the prior development of theoretical propositions. Case studies should not be confused with qualitative research and they can be based on any mix of quantitative and qualitative evidence. Single-subject research provides the statistical framework for making inferences from quantitative case-study data.[2][4] This is also supported and well-formulated in (Lamnek, 2005): "The case study is a research approach, situated between concrete data taking techniques and methodologic paradigms."
Yin (2005) suggested that researchers should decide whether to do single-case or multiple-case studies and chose to keep the case holistic or have embedded sub-cases. This two-by-two combination can produce four basic designs for case studies.
Three types of information-oriented cases may be distinguished:
Extreme or deviant cases
Critical cases
Paradigmatic cases.
[edit] Critical case
A critical case can be defined as having strategic importance in relation to the general problem. For example, an occupational medicine clinic wanted to investigate whether people working with organic solvents suffered brain damage. Instead of choosing......

...Case 1
Mystic Monk Coffee
1.) He is certainly trying to establish a future direction by implementing change and greatly expanding the existing monastery. His vision is to transform a small brotherhood of 13 monks into a much larger church with more monks, nuns and a retreat by creating a new Mount Caramel. His vision for the coffee business is to continually build it so as to use it to be the primary funding for the new monastery. The mission of these monks is a life of prayer, worship and solitude.
2.) I would say so because as soon as he arrived he envisioned acquiring a large parcel of land, which he has with a large price tag. Also, in order to fund it has developed a plan via the Mystic Monk Coffee business as a source of revenue to pay for the new place.
3.) His strategy is to build the business by getting a larger roaster and most likely having more monks to work… for little to no pay. He has a clear advantage in labor costs as he will have hardly any compared to other distributors. He also will have sort of a niche market, the Catholics.
4.) I believe it is a money maker, or at least could be. Their model is to develop a quality product for quality people at a competitive price. The CVP is as competitive as any because it is very similar to competitors however; they market theirs as Christian which is a solidifier. The profit formula is also probably consistent with competitors and should be better considering the wage......

1. Executive Summary
This business case has been prepared to analyse the need of an Induction Program at Advantedge Financial Services and to recommend ways of conducting the program. Advantedge Financial Services has been operating for over 10 years, and while it has been a relatively small company in the past, its growth in conjunction with National Australia Bank acquiring the entity this has expanded the company and its business to unprecedented levels. Currently, Advantedge Financial Services does not have any Induction Programs in place, as it has been unnecessary in the past due to its low profile persona. However due to its expansion the company has employed a high number of staff to accommodate the increased volume of work that the business has acquired. This past year alone Advantedge Financial Services has hired over 50 staff including 10 Co-Op students around the......

Dispute Resolution
2-1A. Jurisdiction
(Chapter 2—Pages 29–30)
A court can exercise personal jurisdiction over nonresidents under the authority of a long arm statute. Under a long arm statute, it must be shown that the nonresident had sufficient contacts with the state to justify the jurisdiction. In regard to business firms, this requirement is usually met if the firm does business within the state. In this case, the parties to the sponsorship agreement contemplated that substantial activities to further their joint venture would take place in Florida. Sutton lived in Florida, and he was expected to and did play in tour events in Florida. Sutton was to be provided health care insurance in Florida. All earnings from Sutton’s golf-related activities in Florida and elsewhere were to be paid by the Professional Golfing Association from its headquarters and bank account in Florida to the ARS & Associates account in Michigan; the partnership was to disburse funds from the account to Sutton’s account in Florida to enable him to perform golf-related activities and participate in tour events for the benefit of the joint venture. After ARS failed to fund health insurance for Sutton, it instructed Sutton to obtain medical care in return for providing golf lessons to a physician in Florida. These facts—the provision of health care insurance......

A stakeholder is typically concerned with an organization delivering intended results and meeting its financial objectives. In general, a stakeholder can be one of two types: internal (from within an organization) or external (outside of an organization). The stakeholders in this situation are Lanie Marquez and Tim Rodriguez who are also partners in the retail distribution business and their capital contributions are as follows P500,000 and P300,000 respectively they are an internal stakeholder since they are also the owners. The total Capital of both stakeholders is P800,000 and with a monthly salary for both partners at P15,000 on the assumption that both of them will contribute to manage the business equally. Assuming that both managed the business equally the total salary for the year for Lanie and Tim are P180,000 each. They share profit and loss equally and no interest will be given on capital contributed.
The problem for this situation is that Lanie is starting to get concerned with the behavior of her other partner Tim. He only manages the business 50% of the time, which will mean that his salary of P15,000 will need to decrease by also 50% since he does not manage the business equally with his partner. The business has seen a downturn in the profit outcome and for the current financial...

1. Introduction
2.1. Purpose of the document: This document seeks funding from Director of ATRC Training to undertake Project Curriculum Management (CM) Change, an initiative to expedite changes to the curriculum for ATRC Officer Courses. The business case also confirms the project key parameters and serves as a brief for stakeholders.
2.2. Overview of the Project: Currently there is a three month delay in making simple amendments to any courses, including Power Point updates and reference changes.

This is directly impacting on ATRCs Targeted Outputs which are to provide ‘Total Mission Accomplishment’ to the Fleet, which involves producing Naval Officers that are ‘Trained and...

...Zara Business Case
Zara’s workers are very sufficient in delivering the product to the customer because they are updating the existing garments only in two weeks, there are more fashionable clothes in short time (from runway to store), they are having the latest fashion it in store in five weeks and they are having a just in time production in order to shorten the time from order to arrival. In addition Europe can get the item order within 24 hours, while Asian and American store can get the item order under 48 hours. This is how evident Classical Management Approach at Zara International. Zara’s success is as much a result of its history and location, as of its counter-intuitive business strategies. Zara is riding two of the winning retail trends-being in fashion and low prices-and making a very effective combination out of it. Design and product development is a highly people-intensive process. Information and communications technology is at the heart of Zara’s business. Close watch on trends & buying behavior, quick decisions, inventory Control and distribution are some of the evident ways of Behavioral Management Approach at Zara International.
Zara has 200 designers to help to keep up with the latest fashion. Designers will design the clothes, then Inditex provide the garments needed in the design and the finished garments is made in the factory will be handed over to the distribution center and the distribution center will distribute the product to the......

LB LIA Buahbatu:
Surviving in a Harsh Environment
It was a bright Monday morning on January 2011 when Iwan enters his office room. In his desk there is a consolidated report of the LB LIA branch performance during the previous year. When he read the report he let out a silent sigh, his fear has turn into a reality. The amount of enrolled student has dropped again, and since the primary source of income for an English course such as LIA is the course fee paid by students that means net profit has dropped as well.
Iwan has become the branch manager of the LB LIA Buahbatu branch for more than 15 years. The branch was open in 1990; in the early days acquiring potential customers is easy, just by doing promotion using pamphlet, banner, and brochure students already lined up during the placement test date. At some point LIA Buahbatu even have to decline a student application to enroll because there is no more available space. Sadly this situation does not last forever. Since 2001 – 2010 LIA Buahbatu experienced a steady decline in the amount of enrolled student. Compared to 2001 the amount of student in 2010 has dropped up to 36%, and since the primary source of income for an English course such as LIA is the course fee paid by students that mean net profit has dropped as well, in 2010 the net profit for LIA Buahbatu has declined up to 32% compared against 2001.
